Sunday afternoon disgraceful scene oc- cured within the walls of old Westminis- ter Abbey, London
 Several thousand of the unemployed with red Aug at their head, marched ill procession from Trafalgar Square to W est minister Abbey, and, although no invita-. tion had been extended, ], 200 of the crow were admit. d. The red flag was fit iu charge of the vergers. Inside the abbey, many of the unexpec', visitors remained covered and indulged in whistlng, while others mounted the pedestals of the va- riOus statues or mingled with the decent people present, who mostly left the build ing. The crowd as a rule chewed tobac- co and expectorated everywhere, regard less of the surroundings, until the first les son was announce d, when the reader was loudly jeered, completely drowning his voice. The second lesson was similarly received. Canon, Brothers then preached sermon, taking for his text Romans ii, l. In his discourse he argued that the pun ishment of the law-breaker was necessary for the good of the community. This was received with cries of "Oh !" "Oh P and ''Boshl' The preacher earnestly appeal ed for order, and exhorted his hearers to try and uproot evil and plant good instead. "That's what we are going to do, was shouted and received with cries of Hear, Clear" and cheers. Canon Brothers now threw his notes aside and addressed him. self directly to the roughs. He said |: Legislation could alone provide remedy for hunger and suffering, but everybody could express sympathy" Loud laughter, follow ed by voice: "That's all we shall get. Canon Brothers continued "Char- table agencies might do much" "-[ A voice :: "We don't want charity we want work. y ] The reverend gentleman enlisted the at tention of the mob when he advocated state assistance in times of distress.
 At the close of his remarks the mob hissed and marched out of the abbey, cor dially cheered by their comrades ln wait ing outside. The whole then proceeded shouting and hooting to Trafalgar Squire, where the leaders denounced the church and police. Several arrests were made of brawling persons and thieves.

 Gold Debentures.
 For some time there has been growing call on the part of investors for a bond which will not by it's terms mature in so short time as or years, as is the case with the Farm Mortgage, which our customers, and indeed large class of investors are thorough ly familiar.
 To those and that other large class of con- servative investors we take great pride in of fering the Gold Debenture, as we believe it to become the popular investment of the day.
 Dy bulS WO uO uOJ IuGhu IO u0LTuCG lIOn Iuo credit justly due the best Real Estate Mort gage Loans, which unquestionably furnish absolute security, especially so where in the guaranteed form. But, if improvement has been made Gas we think there has), the care full investor is entitled to the benefit.

BEST EVER KNOWN.
Meeting of the Dakota Press Association.

This association held its annual conyen-
ton at Big Stone City. ON the shore of Big
Stone Lake.
President Augustine Davis of Huron de-
hyered mis- annual address. He gave an
interesting sketch OF the development of
journalism and Of it's influence. Continu-
ing he said:
In the number of papers published Da-
kota exceeds about three fourths OF the
states aud territories. She has 80 news
papers, Of which 80 are daifies. North
Dakota has 90, of which 20 are dailies. In
South Dakota there is a combined weekly
circulation OF dailies and weeklies of about
10000, or a paper for every three inhab.
ltants. At an estimate Of $1,000 for
each plant, h combined investments of
south Dakato publishers approaches close
~ to hall a million dollars. But the cues.
ton which mostly directly concerns the
member OF this association Is how to
make these Investments profitable.
Through the active Efforts of a lber Of
publishers the last legislature ,sed a
Law which reduced legal rates t. /. reason
able figure, and compelled the payment OF
those rates. Every person who strives to
avoid this law hazards the legality OF the
publication. This association should nro-
vide means Tor the strict enforcement OF the
law A penalty should be attached for tia
violation. The failure OF the legislature To
publish the session laws inmcdiately
through the newspapers was SO grave an

the game was up. About $4,000 WAS
the figure they put it at. II the American
government makes any change in the sugar

is that money is voted by the native legis-

The interstate commerce commission
delivered opinions recently in four cases.
The cases entitled. Louis LarriEon against
the Grand Trunk Railroad Company and
The Michigan Central Railroad Company
against The Grand Trunk Railroad Com
pany, were heard together. The charge is
unjust discrimination. Larrizon complains
that the road would not sell him a thous-
and-mile ticket at the price paid by
commercial travellers. and the Michigan
Central complains that the Grand Trunk
was selling to commercial travellers atlow-
er rates than to the public generally. The
defendant admits the facts as charged, but
aSers that nothing alleged is in conflict
with the law. The opinion concludes as
follows:
Common carriers may continue the is
suanre of mileage passenger tickets, the
charges for which must be reasonable and
Just Tree IRON unjust di serimi-
nation OF unreasonable preference.
Commercial travellers are not priv.
liged to ride over railroads at lower rates
than are paid by other persons. What
ever reasonable rates commercial travel.
ers ARE made to pay other travellers may
be made to pay. To charge one more than
the other is unjust discrimination, and
this is true whether the tickets issued are
mileage tickets or in some other form.
The refusal OF the defendant to sell the
complainant a thousand-mile ticket for
$50, the price at which the was
selling such tickets TO commercial travel.
ers. and the neglect to publish rates at
which defendant was Offering to sell mile
age tickets, were alike in a CONFLICT with
the ''act to regulate commerce Opinion
by Commissioner Morrison, all eoncurring."

Infants have been dying in New

Two hundred and forty-eight is the
record for one week in Philadelphia,
and three hundred and Twenty-Five
in Chicago. OF course the fierce heat
has been the common cause of this
great mortality. But it should be
borne in mind that it is not the
heat alone which causes the babies to
succumb, but also impure air and inn
pure food. The latter cause diseases
